I never intended to take it this far. It was a weekend street toy. Auto Trans. Drive it in the rain car.

I know the trouble people have trying to get the 5AT to hold power. And a big part of its problem was not being able to handle part-throttle torque. The computer is not expecting to see much torque at part throttle, and therefore does not increase the line pressure. Then you get slipping and heat and broken transmissions. So I specifically chose a kit that would not make much torque at low rpms and part-throttle. The only time a centrifugal supercharger makes power is in the upper rpms and wot. I figured that would be my best shot at running stock-block and stock 5AT with FI. Yes, I overthink everything in my life.

Long story short. I lucked into a good deal on a built Transmission. Uprev figured out how to fool the computer into expecting more torque and therefore upping line pressure. Then I blew my motor and way overbuilt it. And most importantly met some cool *** people and got the power-bug.

I wasn't ever expecting the Stillen Kit to make a certain number. I was just trying get all I could out of it. I was happy with it and would still have it if the JTran bunch hadn't made me an awesome deal.

That's what JTran does. You stop by, be cool, and you are part of the family.

:icon18: lol you got that itch turbo all things.

If I had never got in that car, none of this would be happening. Ha ha.

A message for all Supercharged Z owners. Do not sit in a Turbocharged car...Don't even look at it.

^I think I'm going down the same road as you. Stillen SC with upgraded goodies. My reasoning is that I have a CARB sticker on the kit. CA sucks for modified cars. Plus I got lazy and got a 7AT and the lower torque numbers keep me from re-building the tranny. Fingers crossed.

I guess my choice is based on how much money I can spend on boost. If I did it again, it would be a PW 6MT FI TT. Just gotta stay away from you guys with turbos. I know I would be hook on the instant torque and power of the turbos.
